"All You Need Is Blood ""All You Need is Blood"" is the name of the first single released by mash-up band Beatallica, a group known for their combination of Beatles music and Metallica lyrics and riffs.

"Beatles' anti-materialistic message and are an ""anthemic tribute"" to universal love in which ""nothing is tempered or modulated"". He says that Lennon favours words such as ""nothing"", ""no one"", ""nowhere"" and ""all"", thereby presenting a series of ""extreme statements"" that conclude with ""the final reversals of 'All you need is love' and 'Love is all you need'"". On the Beatles' recording, the song starts with the intro to the French national anthem, ""La Marseillaise"", and contains elements from other musical works, such as Glenn Miller's 1939 hit ""In the Mood"". This use of musical quotations follows an approach first adopted"
"as another example of the Beatles' ""comedy song"" approach, which, in a contemporary interview, McCartney had suggested was a possible new direction for the group. In Womack's view, the French phrases in the lyrics accentuate the premise whereby a language barrier separates two lovers, and the narrative conveys an acceptance that their relationship is doomed to fail, such that the singer is already looking back nostalgically at what could have been. Gould describes the performance as ""sentimental … French cabaret"" which, following McCartney's declaration of ""I love you"", leads into a guitar solo by Harrison that represents ""one of Jean-Paul"
"international audience, captured the utopian sentiments of the Summer of Love era. The single topped sales charts in Britain, the United States and many other countries, and became an anthem for the counterculture's embrace of flower power ideology.

The released recording featured a new lead vocal by Lennon but was otherwise little changed from this performance.
